THE EVIL INFLUENCE OF J As Illustrated By Efforts of Railway to Jim-Crow It sengers From Balti Washington THE EVIL INFLUENCES OF JIM-CROWISM As Illustrated By Efforts of the W.B. & A. Railway to Jim-Crow Its Colored Passengers From Baltimore to Washington VOL. XXVI. No. 26. BY DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS When they have two cars coupled together to start for Washington, one employee stands by the entrances and directs white people into the front car and orders colored people into the rear car, regardless of the seating space in each. Colored people are usually unwilling and orderly, and unsuspectingly go where they are directed. In this way the officers of the company intended for the employee to diplomatically sift the Negroes into a separate car, no doubt—but when inferiors are given such a commission they are always likely to go too far, to forget diplomacy and show the REAL spirit of the matter. These two evil results invariably follow any Jim Cim scheme: 1. The employee become insolent to the people against whom he knows the Jim Cim is directed. 2. The place for this weaker people is allowed to become insecure, uncomfortable and unprotected. On March 12th the employee was steadily Jim-Crowing the colored men and women by this cunning scheme, and his very success had made him insolent; so that when I appeared and started for the front car, he said harshly: "into the other car!" I replied indifferently: "I wish to go into this one." He then thundered: "I say you have got to go into TIFAT car, and you can't go into this one!" I replied: "I am going into this one," and I went, aloft I had to remove his arm with which he sought to obstruct the entrance. He had the nerve to seize me by the foot as I went up the steps. I kicked him loose promptly. Then he started out as if to call an officer to arrest me because he had imposed upon me. I indented that I would be delighted to see an officer, and he changed his mind. Then I informed him that for him to take hold of me was assault, and I told him that he must not use his hands again or I would have to use poison. He "got" me. Now, some officer of the road may have instructed this employee to Jim Crow the colored people by diplomacy, but does not intend for him to attempt to do so by taking the heals or by the throats. And if the follow had sense enough not to attempt force and not to interfere with a man when he saw that THAT man evidently knows his rights,—then the scheme would work in the great majority of cases. But when you give an inferior a wrong to perpatrate, he is very likely to exceed the moderation with which you intend for him to perpetrate that wrong. Now as to the second danger of Jim Crow, the insecurity of our "Jim Crow corner." I later went into this rear car of my own accord, because I saw friends there with whom I wished to confer. There were colored men and women, including a first Army unit of the United States Army and his mother. There were few white men, including the conductor and other employees of the roar. This car had a separate smoker end as had the front car, and the colored men who wanted to smoke went into this smoker. But we had not cut out of the city limits when his conductor (number 218) and his employee (number 170) coolly began to smoke right over the colors of the colored women. I hate smoke and never want to sit in it. Not for that reason, however, but as a courtesy to these women I asked these men to stop smoking or go into the smoker. The other white passengers had already forced the conductor's example and began to smoke. the conductor at first hesitated to apply with my request, and when he me looking for his number, he blurted out: "It's number 218." "Thank you," said I. "I will make the best possible use of that number. You may depend on me." Lieutenant Love had joined in the protest, in defense of his mother. Sensing that I was in earnest, the conductor put out his smoke and the other men put out theirs. But a few of them looked a bit surprised that any colored person should object to smoke. And yet some people think that colored people object to Jim Crow because they "want to be with white people." That is conceit. When the Negro is thrust out of proximity to the decent white man, he is generally forced into the company of the bad white man. This last is what he objects to. What honest white man will blame a colored person for preferring the company of decent white people to that of the indecent? The colored people are better protected when they are not "separate." I heard Principal Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, say that he would rather ride from Norfolk to Richmond protected by the presence of one respectable white woman among the passengers than to have the protection of a sheriff. His meaning DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS. is plain. It had no reference to "sasssley." If black and white women are riding in the same car the white man's laws will not allow the white ruffian to cuss and smoke in that car. It is the same in all segregation. The mobs in East St. Louis could not have set fire to the Negro section if there had been no "Negro section." Lower-class white man thinks and feels that segregated colors people have no rights he is bound to respect. The colored people must resist Jim Crow in every legal way. It is their worst enemy. They must submit to it only where the laws of the land compel them for the time being to submit. They must seek to change those laws. OLD BALTIMOREAN BURIED The funeral of Mr. John T. Davis an old citizen and resident of South Baltimore, took place from the residence of his son, John T. Davis, Sr., $20 Warner street, thence to the John Wesley M. E.

The Medonough Hospital Association is the organization under which the movement is being launched. A colored woman, Mary Johnson by name, objected in court to the way the reporters quoted her testimony, in her action against one Sandy Fleming, for malicious prosecution. She claimed that she was well educated and was able to use good language and gave an exhibition of the same. This case happened in Houston, Texas, but the same as far as the reporters are concerned could have happened almost anywhere in the South.

CAMP DODGE SCHOOL HAS 1,672 PUPILS Camp Dodge, DesMoines, Ia., Mar. 14 A school of one thousand six hundred and seventy-two pupils is some school as every one will acknowledge. This is the number of men in 386th infantry at Camp Dodge, who are learning their A B C's. They are receiving instruction at one of the Y. M. C. A. buildings. Many of these men when they came to the cantonment were unable to read or write their own names, but now they are making 'rapid progress along the line of learning the three R's. These men size with avidity the occasion and opportunity of learning how to read and write and make very apt pupils. Some of the better educated men among them are learning French and German. In the work of the regiment they are so well pleased that those who are sent back home on account of disability regret the cause of their going. this city that the popular lead-company has been retired with g as captain for 35 years. Our Boys at various Cantonments NO RRCIAL FRICTION AT CAMP UPTON NoSegregation here and Army Regulations Are Strietly Obeyed By All. Camp Upton, New York, March 12— Visitors to Camp Upton are especially impressed with the cordiality which seems to exist between the colored and white troops. The white draftees experience no fainting fits when required to salute a superior officer whose shade happens to be a shade two darker than his. Nor does a junior officer show any embarrassment when he meets and salutes a superior officer of color. Army regulations are army regulations, and each and all feel that they are to be obeyed and that without distinctions of any kind. The 347th colored infantry is not set off into a prescribed territory, as if they were the victims of some communicable disease, and a visitor speedily discovers that the most cordial relations exist between the two races. Said a visitor to this camp recently: "The colored officers of this camp are men of the highest type and compare favorably in all things to the white officers. "As for the colored draftees, they are showing the beneficial effects of systematic training, regular habits and army discipline. Many of the draftees knew little discipline before going to camp. Having to respect position, particularly when the superior is a colored man, is something new to some of them. No one now goes to Upton without paying the 'Buffaloes' a visit. They are the central figure of the training camp—a camp where real Americanism is not a hollow mockery and where racial unity and good will reign. NEW ARRIVALS AT CAMP LEWIS Early last week 663 colored troops from Camp Lewis, plied off cars in which they had been riding from the far off State of Washington. Friday 500 more came from Camp Sherman, in the state of Ohio, and today 500 more came from Indiana. All of these men have been in training since last November, and are in the highest state of efficiency. Brig. Gen. Malvern Hill Barnum, expressed himself as highly pleased with their appearance. These boys will give a good account of themselves when they get "over there." The 183d brigade of the Ninety-second division, commanded by Gen. Barnum is one of the Negro organizations of the national army. Gen. Barnum thinks he is one of the most fortunate commanders in camp, having received new troops to the number of 1,600 in the last few days and is due to get another 1,000 at once. Several weeks ago the general went to division headquarters and put in an earnest plea for more men, not having enough, he said to do guard duty, take care of the animals, and do the necessary work around headquarters. Now his brigade is in fine shape and will get down to a hard working basis in a few days. The remaining unit of this brigade is being trained at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. The Ninety-second division will finally be mobilized at Fort Riley, Kansas. Female Bootlegger Commits Suicide That Gretel Brooks, who was found dead in her home, 740 Wareche street, Tuesday afternoon, came to her death by inhaling illuminating gas, was the virulent of Coroner Driscoll Wednesday. James White, better known as "Blue" who had been arrested in connection with her death, and William Parker were released from custody. The case exited considerable interest as it was not known whether or not the woman came to her death by soul play, bruises having been found on her face. It was alleged that she and James White had a fight about 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. The fight is alleged to have taken place after a quarrel over the proceeds of an all-night party. The woman was seen later on the street, however, and is said to have visited a house on Elm Place. It is presumed that she was intoxicated and accidentally kicked the gas stove over, extinguishing the flame. Gas fires penetrated into the home of Mrs. Annelia Thomas, 742 Wastegate street. She called her brother, Craffton Wilson, who entered the house through a rear window. He turned off the flow of gas, threw open the windows and found the woman dead. The arrests of James White and the detention of William Parker same after it was reported that light had taken place. The woman was arrested last Saturday night, charged with furnishing beer to soldiers. Over 100 bottles were taken from her home. She was released on $200 hall Sunday. A few months ago she was arrested on the charge of allowing white men in her home, but was later released. The Brooks woman was about 32 years of age and was the daughter of Perry A. L. Brown. Her funeral will take place this Saturday. CHANCE FOR ADVANCEMENT Quite a number of our young men, here and elsewhere, will in a very short time be called to the colors. Many of these young men have had the advantages of a liberal education and perhaps some of them have had opportunities at the trades and professions. To these young men come an opportunity, if taken advantage of, that will be of material help to them—if they enlist before they are called in the draft. The Heavy Field Artillery offers the best advantage to them giving a chance to use their talent to the very best advantage. Young men who have had some experience in mechanical work of any kind—draftsmen, blacksmiths, iron workers, telephone and telegraph lineners or operators, carpenters, stenographers—in fact in any kind of skilled work. By enlisting now in this branch of the service, the opportunity will be offered to become noncommissioned officers. We have the information that a large number of young men of ability are wanted and opportunity will be given them for advancement as fast as they are able to prove themselves worthy. Any information in relation to this branch of the service can be obtained by calling at the Afro-American office. GIVES $10,000 FOR BATH HOUSE Pittsburgh. Fau.

Marchell 14.—"Were urging, patriotic duties upon the Negroes white they are 'Ymned and jim crowed him the appearance of insincerity" was a sentiment expressed to President Woodrow Wilson by a commission appointed by the Bishops' Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to make representation against discrimination against the Negroes of this country. The appointment with President Wilson was arranged by Prof. J. R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church. The Commission was headed by Bishop W. D. Chappelle of South Carolina.

Much interest is being manifested in the appointments, which will be announced at night. Bishop McDowell and the district superintendents met Thursday to discuss the assignments for the ensuing year. Deep interest is being manifested in the assignments and t is believed that he will have some surprises for the ministers. Despite the fact that, Mr. Zion Church was only chosen as the seat of the conference, Rev. D. D. Turner and his congregation are doing admirably well in the entertainment of the ministers. That the Trustees of Morgan College will be spared the humiliation of having the legislature pass a law prohibiting the institution from locating on the ivy Mills property on the Hartford Road, is the general opinion, college has bought 70 acres there, and whites are opposed to its being located on the tract. Their opposition was first manifested last spring when a bill failed in the extra session of the legislature preventing its acquiring the site. Two bills have been introduced in the present session of the legislature. One prevents its locating on a site within five miles of Baltimore and another would forfeit its charter should it sell residential sites from the trace to colored people. Dr. Ernest Lyon and Dean Willing Pickens appeared before the Judicial Committee of the legislature Thursday of last week, protesting against bills. More than 150 whites were hand Tuesday to urge the passage the bills. Dr. John O: Spencer, president of the institution, was on hand to urge the claims of the college. The bills are regarded as a con- vention of the recent decision not to United States Supreme Court abrog- ing the recognition law. --- Arrangements have been made for a monster patriotic meeting to be held at Bethel Church, corner Lanvale and Drum Hill avenue, next Wednesday evening, March 20, at 8.30 o'clock.

That part of a man's head and face which hears a very important relation to his appearance. One's entire person may be imminent, yet if his hair has not been properly trimmed the general effect will be spilled utterly. On the other hand, a well-trimmed head of hair and nicely shaved face is an infallible index of self respect and is always, a premium for a man in all his business and social relations. They have involved with the times—a profession. The profession is indeed a worthy one and has roped its own harvest on advancing the ideals of civilization generally. Years ago a few barbers took it unto themselves to confine their efforts strictly to the practice of medicine in this way. The medical profession was established by men who were barbers who put all their time on surgery and medicine. But if you don't read won can't know the history of your profession.

Judging from reports a large number of the colored people of Harlem, were not well pleased by the forcing off the ticket of the Rev. Dr. R. C. Ransom, by the Republican candidate Boles, and took summary vengeance by bolting the ticket and electing a Democrat. Folks in New York have a very independent way, and when a Republican does not suit them they fall back and elect his opponent on the Democratic ticket. It is all grist that comes to the colored man's mill anyway. He gets what he wants from the Democrats whenever the Republicans fail to give it to him. He knows how to trim his sails to the passing breeze. 1959 W.B. & A. TRYING TO FORCE JIMCROWISM. Many better in another column by Dean Pickens of Morgan Col- starred or simply shows what we still have to undergo even in these quies- tious war times. That the old southern bourbon spirit is but um dead is clearly demonstrated in more than a hundred ways. The W. B. & A. railroad, is an inter-state railroad and wherefore the local Jim Crow car law does not apply to it, more specially to passengers between the two cities. As this road imns from Baltimore to Washington, it comes within the decision of the Court of Appeals of Maryland as well as the United States District Cource. It is therefore clearly a breach of these decisions when attempt is made to force colored passengers into separate coaches. The case of Dean Pickens is not the only case of this kind which has come to the notice of this office, and we are saying now and here that any colored man is clearly within his rights when he refuses to be jim crowed on this road. If an attempt is made to forcibly prevent a colored passenger from taking a seat where he pleases, or where an attempt is made to force a passenger out of a coach when once entered, the passenger should get the names and addresses of such passengers as will witness to the transaction, the name and number of the conductor or motorman who in any way attempts to force a passenger out of a car or seat, and immediately, enter a suit for assault against the company. Perhaps this will break up the habit. --- GRAY SHOT IN THE history somewhere o considerably from the hop. In order tha e set a gun so it w metime after he h t. Simply turning singing: "T hope n JUST A STRAY SHOT IN THE BUSHES We have heard the story somewhere of a colored gentleman who has suffered considerably from the depredations of his neighbors on his hen coop. In order that both he and his hens should be protected he set a gun so it would go off when the door was opened. Sometime after he had gotten into bed he heard the gun go off. Simply turning over he went to the deep serenely remarking: "I hope nobody's fected by deplosion!" Some folks in Baltimore seem to have been "fected by deplosion" of an editorial in last week's issue on the collection and disbursement of funds for the various objects now before the public. We had no particular person in mind when writing the editorial and if anyone was hit it was no fault of ours. However it would be well to bear in mind that contributors to these funds expect the money to be properly applied, and if they are not then some one will have to be reckoned with. BISHOP SAMUEL ADJAI CROWTHER "African Missionary Heroes and Heroines" just off the press, an intensely interesting account of work among natives by H. W. K. Kumm contains this chronicle of a hero's life: Is stealing a kiss grand larceny or assault with intent to assert equality? This is a question that the court will have to solve, if fifty smart New York detectives, detailed on the case, succeed in capturing a rather bold and brazen burglar now at large in New York City. It was in the wee small hours that two young women, asleep in an upper room in a large apartment house, were awakened by a noise. One hid under the covers and the other investigated. The investigator was seized, tied to a chair with sheets and pillow cases and gagged by means of napkins pushed into her mouth. With everything settled to the burglar's liking he spent a half hour in completely and thoroly relieving the room of its valuables. Meanwhile his captive had worked loose and started for him. Quite gently he tied her up again, and to show there were no hard feelings, begged for "just one little kiss." Naturally the captive refused, but he took one anyway along with rings and other things and made his way chuckling down the fire escape and over the roof to hide from the police department's detectives. If caught, the burglar must answer the charges of having entered an apartment and stolen jewelry, money, etc. The etc. of course stands for the kiss. The law provides no penalty for stolen kisses, but in this case, it is certain the severest penalty will be meted out, since it happens that the burglar was colored and his victims were white. The young women will also ask for the return of their money and jewelry but not the etc. No sir, not the etc. This is one thing they do not want returned. We have heard of gentlemen burglarls and several varieties of sentimental burglarls; but this especial type of mushy, chuck- THE UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION SAYS EAT MORE CORN Corn meal Corn meal Corn meal Grits Hominy Corn Syrup BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS Every once a, while you can hear someone say "We had a good Local League in our town but it went down." Let me tell you what, in my judgement, is the reason why Local Leagues run down. The direct or minor cause, in many instances, is local petty differences between individuals; the indirect or major cause is the apparent inability of the members of the Local League to understand and appreciate their opportunities for serving through this organization. In my observations regarding certain cities, we are seeking to deal with the larger aspect of the situation only, and the observations are based upon conditions as they existed in 1916. Let us compare Augusta, Georgia, and Shreveport, Louisiana, both enterprising Southern cities of about the same size and same Negro population. Augusta has a most unique cooperative grocery store, owned and operated by colored people with more than a hundred stockholders. A capable manager is in charge of the store and it is an inspiration to see how the venture has succeeded. In the insurance field, Augusta stands with the leaders. Four or five strong companies with more than a. hundred hustling agents take care of the bulk of business among the colored people. The spirit of progress is evident in Augusta, with the successful cooperative effort and the large proportion of insurance business handled by Negro companies, and yet Augusta has no first class Negro drug store. On the other hand, Shreveport has two very striking and successful Negro drug stores but the insurance situation is pathetic. One Negro company with three agents and the Negro population equal to that of Augusta. Clearly here is work for two enterprising hustling Local Leagues; one in Augusta to get that drug store among other things, and one in Shreveport to arouse the people to the necessity of turning all of that insurance money into Negro enterprises where it will help our boys and girls. AN UNWRITTEN CHAPTER Dr. A. E. Winship, editor of the Journal of Education, passes a great and merited tribute to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, in an article in the current issue of the Christian Encycler World. Dr. Winship writes in part as follows: "The world knows much of the great leader of Tuskegee, but it will be a long time before all demonstrations of of his greatness will be known. Two chapters likely never to have been written but for my pen are as characteristic as anything I knew. "Ten days before his final illness he went to Montgomery and called upon the state superintendent, William P. Fengin, to know whether he, Washington, could not help in the proposed illiteracy campaign in Alabama. It must be remembered that this campaign was wholly among native white people. It was in no sense for the colored people. "He wanted to know how much money would probably be needed for the successful promotion of that campaign in Alabama. Mr. Feagin estimated that $10,000 would probably be needed. All right, I will provide that amount as it will be needed," said Mr. Washington. Three days later he sent in bills—that there might be no check to involve anyone—$500. Seven days later he went North and his life work was ended."

WILLIAM H. WEAVER, D. D., Contributing Editor The Washington Spring Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church now being held in the City of Washington, D. C. will be of shorter duration than heretofore owing to certain conditions and circumstances growing out of the world war, nevertheless the sessions of the conference will be most interesting, and some of the most important questions now before the great Methodist Episcopal Church will be considered. It was so arranged that on Friday, March the fifteenth, much of the time of that day's session was given to presenting plans for the Centenary Celebration of the missions of the church. The principal speakers for that occasion as provided by the Joint Centenary Commission were Bishop E. S. Johnson, of Africa. Dr. F. M. North, Rev. C. A. Tindley, D. D., and Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, D. D. The centenary program seeks "to present to the Methodists of America a bird's eye view of the spreading responsibilities of Methodism for the next one hundred years." The nation wide campaign which is to be waged—it is said to be for the purpose of arousing "all the Methodists of America to a consciousness of what their church is already doing in the field of Home and Foreign Missions." It is the plan of the Joint Centenary Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church "to pledge eighty millions of dollars during the next five years to put the work of its Foreign and Home Missions on an efficiency basis to the benefit of the people." "the waste and destruction of the war" may be counter balanced. "During a week's celebration to be held in Columbus, Ohio, in June 1919 the Centenary is expected to culminate, when a pagan giving a dramatic picture of the condition of Methodist Missions throughout the world will be presented and when prominent Methodist Missionaries and speakers will be present and tell of their work. Added interest and impetus is expected to be given this celebration from the fact that it will represent not only a combination of the Board of Houses and Foreign Missionary Church, but as well the Cooperation of the Methodist Episcopal Church south. The first common celebration held by the churches since their separation in 1847. The Joint Centenary Commission has indeed planned for great things and is to be hoped that all the plans may be carried out, the pledge of Eighty Millions be secured and kept, and the Mission work of the church be put on a basis of greater efficiency and therefore be able to accomplish greater things than ever in bringing the Gospel to more and more abundant blessings of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ The consent of Cooperation and participation on the part of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in a Common Celebration for the first time since the separation of the two great branches of the Methodist family is something to rejoice over. We can see no good reason why there should not be the heartiest cooperation in everything to promote and extend the Master's Kingdom; nor why. In the spirit and name of the Blessed Master there should not be a larger cooperation, but as well, closer union among all Christian Churches in their efforts to do what He has plainly commissioned all His followers to do-to "Go Ye into all the World, etc." REY, DR. FRANCIES J. GRIMKE, D. D. ON REY, "BILLY" SUNDAY'S CAMPAIGN IN WASHINGTON, D. C. Rev. Dr. F. J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth St. Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C., is the author of a leaflet in which he comments freely and forcibly on the results of the Eight Weeks Campaign conducted by the noted Evangelist, in the National Capital. Dr. Grimke states that the Evangelist was brought to the city by the whites for their benefit, whom he says needed help from some source. That the people in whose interest heev. Sunday conducted his campaign were helped by him "In the direction in which they are most sadly in need of help," Dr. Grimke thinks "it may be positively asserted that" they were "not," without stating what Mr. Sunday may have accomplished, here is Dr. Grimke's statement and estimate of what he did not do for the white people of Washington City, "Of one thing we may be assured: Whether changes his presence in our race may have wrought, the death of race prejudice will be just as strongly entrenched in the white churches and in the community as it was before he came." Denouncing almost every other sin under Heaven no word of condemnation or disapproval fell from his lips, against the sin of race prejudice, Dr. Grimke declares, and implies that the evangelist's failure to speak against that sin of which most of the whites of the city are guilty, wilt tend to make them feel or "assume" that there can't be anything wrong about race prejudice—nothing inconsistent between it and Christianity." Dr. Grimke is right. Christianity condoms race prejudice as much as it does any other sin born of hate and hell, and that is not a full gospel of the Christ of God which denounces and condemns certain sins and practices of men, and is silent-dumb, regarding others. It is, true as he says of most if not all white evangelists in this country, they are usually, if not always, silent on all matters pertaining to the relation of the races, and act as though they were afraid to take a stand for the right treatment of men of darker skins than their own, and as though their commission from God was to preach the gospel to white people only, as such, and if at all to colored people then it was to preach to them is colored people—separate and distinct from all others; and not the commission of Him who bade the men chosen and called by Him to be the propagators of the principles of the new and better kingdom which He came to establish in the hearts, and to rule in the lives of men—"Go ye and preach the gospel to every creature." All the white evangelists of recent years are as Dr. Grinke says silent on this sin of race prejudice, and all of them too are willing to fall in with such suggestion from local committees where they tried their campaigns, that show discrimination against and tend to the humiliation of their colored brethren. No such moral cowards are fit to preach the gospel of Him who took to Himself the name of Son of Man, and taught all men to say when they pray "Our Father ecte." It is no wonder that so few of the converts of such evangelists, are to be found—after the campaigns are over, and the excitement has died out. It is the work of men and not of God. It is told of a distinguished clergyman, of the Mother Country, who had been instrumental in inducing many to profess Jesus Christ, that he was accosted one day on the highway by a man who was almost beautiful drunk. and similarly called the clergyman, and familiar with him, asking him for some aid. The clergyman did not recognize him as any one whom he told him so. To this the drunken man replied "Doctor you don't know me! Why I am one of your converts," to which the clergyman made answer, "I suspect you are one of my converts. You look like some of my work. I am quite sure that God never converted you." Dr. Grinkle is right, the need today is for men in the gospel ministry who love God and not men, intrepid, fearless—whole hearted men, who know the truth and dare to declare the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ, in His name and spirit and for His sake seek to do a god to all men. FARMERS' INSTITUTES Recently the Second Annual Farmers' Institute for Queen Anne county was held at Centerville, Md., which was in every way a success and of special inspiration and worth to the large number of farmers and their wives from all parts of the county who were in attendance. The program arranged for all three of the sessions was helpful and practical, consisting of addresses by prominent speakers among whom were the State Supervisor of Colored Schools, Prof. Hullington, Prof. B. C. Jones, assistant for Queen Anne county, Miss. A. L. Martin, vice president of schools; Prof. L. Martin, first Negro demonstrator; for the State; Miss Lacey K. Allen, food demonstrator; Dr. E. Jones, deputy State health office, and J. C. Parks, principal of Centerville school. Opportunity was given for discussion on Health Sanitation, Spring Cleaning Movement, Race Bettermore, and hours for women and periods for inquiries were afforded. The institutes are the result of the efforts of the county supervisor of colored schools, and shows the interest that this supervisor is taking in the life of the community. It is gratifying to know that this is true not only of Queen Anne county, but as well as of other counties of the State, where the colored supervisor is taking in the life of the combat that it is not only a duty and privilege to look after the schools of their counties, but to promote the interest and welfare of the communities where they labor; so that in numbers of the counties similar institutes under the guidance of these supervisors are being held, and other organizations and movements formed and inaugurated for race uplift and betterment. It is when all who are capable and in a position to lead in forward movements realize their opportunities and size them to do their part, that the greatest development and progress of the race will come. Rev. Dr. H. C. Bishop, of New York Visiting Home And Educator Educators legates of the present Legislature and St. Phillips P. P. E. Church, New York City, the wealthiest coedged church in America, who has been visiting his brother, Mr. John H. Ehlsch, the funeral director of our city, and other relatives and friends the past week, called at the office of the Afro-American last Monday afternoon and spent an hour or more in pleasing and interesting conversation with Editor J. H. Murphy and his old boyhood schoolmate and Dr. Wm. H. Weaver. Dr. Bishop is recovering from a long illness, and is seeking diversion and rest and expects to spend sometime at Hampton and elsewhere before returning to his home and work in New York City. Dr. Bishop work in the ministry covers a long period and has been very successful. In his ministry he was the successful and beloved rector of St. Marks P. E. Church, and for more than thirty two years he has been the popular, efficient and consecrated rector of St. Phillips, New York. Dr. Bishop is regarded as one or the strongest chergemen of his denomination, a Christian scholar and gentleman. He is foremost among the men in New York who are doing good and right things—active in everything that makes for his people's betterment and is greatly loved and highly esteemed by all who know him, and of his excellent work both in the church and in the community life of our greatest city. We wish for him speedy and full restoration to health, and to active service. A bifl increasing the pay of colored teachers in county schools has passed the third reading in the House of Delegates of the present Legislature and the probability of its final passage and being signed by the Governor is great. The sign is a result of the action and efforts of the Maryland Colored State Teachers' Association to have erased the pay of colored teachers in the counties. The legislative committee of the Association made such a presentation of facts regarding the small compensation received by colored teachers in the county schools for the great benefit given to them to do, that the favorable impression made upon His Committee on Education. The teachers in our county schools certainly need and deserve the relief which the bill proposes, and it is earnestly hoped that the additional section which it proposes to the Annotated Code of Maryland title Public Education will be passed and made effective. The best teachers can only be secured and held when properly communicated for their service. The Johnson BILL Providing For The Treatment of Colored Tuberculous Patients. The bill now before the State Senate which provides for the appropriation of seventy-five thousand dollars, for the construction and maintenance of a sanitarium for the care of colored tuberculous patients is expected to pass and is a step in the right direction. The final passage and approval of this bill will be advanced until proposed by the State in dealing with previous problems. It is a matter of vital interest to all, that suitable and necessary buildings are erected and equipped for the reception, care and maintenance of such colored patients, since there are not such facilities in existing hospitals and sanitariums. The necessity for such buildings or sanitariums might be obviated if such agreements, with existing institutions, which the Johnson bill also proposes, can be made to undertake this work, and give ample accommodations. However, whether the erection and equipment of a canal sanitarium, or provision to patients in executive and private hospitals in executive hospitals either of such actions, or an action as would include both, will certainly meet with the approval of all citizens of the state who are concerned about the health of their communities, and the physical well being of all classes.

The School of Theology of Howard University, Washington, D.C. has arranged a convoitation for pastors and Christian workers to be held at the University Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, March 20 to 22, 1918. The general subject for consideration will be effective Christianity in the present world crisis. "The purpose of the convoitation is to rally our force to meet the unanticipated demands which we face in our daily lives." Such a convoitation for the consideration of such an important subject will undoubtedly be helpful and inspiring and will contribute to the preparation of those who attend to take up and meet the great responsibilities that the present times and conditions bring. THE OPTIMIST A new journal bearing this name, edited by Howard E. Young appears for the first time this month. It contains twenty-eight pages, besides those given to advertisement, in which may be found editors and contributed articles of real worth and merit, and many notes on the survey of the world and under the caption of the Colorline that furnish some very practical information. In the Foreword the Optimist expresses "an abiding faith in the people, whose interest it has come to serve" and hopes to contribute its part to the ultimate triumph of our people here in America through affording opportunities for the writers of the world and to give the people a survey of what we as a people are accomplishing in the world. We can wish for this new journal the largest success with a purpose so high and an aim so commendable. The magazine is neat and attractive in appearance and from that point of view as well as for its literary merit deserves commendation and support.

Sir William Brushaw Cooper the famous scientist says, they do here is what he says "The man who denies 'spiritualism' on the part of the spiritual body is capable or playing in our active, living, daily life because it remains unseen and is so far as he knows, impendible, intangible, and unfit is in the position of its skeptical prototype who a hundred years ago, divided the power of steam because its potentialities were hidded and undeveloped. Steam is a mighty power today. What is wanted here, is a broad open mind that is prepared to recognize the truth. The last century has revealed so many marvels, discoveries and inventions and has streamed the world with many strange and wonderful devices, along has come to the foremost the spiritual unfoldment. As a matter of fact, the scriptures teach with spiritual manifestations as to leave no doubt of communications between spirits and living people on earth. Scientists found that Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, India, Greece, the Middle East, experienced spiritual manifestations through their prophets, seekers and wise men. Not leaving Eastern countries where those professing the Oversea science are very numerous, for the reason that Eastern people have never lost touch with the spiritual science and are therefore, perhaps, more highly spiritually evolved than children in Western States. It is I find computed that considerably over twenty million of men and women in the civilized world are spiritualists. Many of them have wonderful chivalry powers and constantly communicate with angels and spirits who have passed to the beautiful life above them grave. In England, such names as Alfred Russell Wallace, Sir William Crookes, M. A. Oxon, Dr. Hodgson Myers, Gurgey, Sidwickir, Sir Oliver Lodge, and many others illustrious in the annals of modern times testify to the truth of spiritual science. France sends a powerful contingent in such men as Dr. Paul Gibber, Allen Kardes, Prof. Charles Richet, Col. DeRoches, Victorien Sarduy, Theophile Gautier, Victor Hugo, Camile Flameron, and many other famous people having investigated spiritualism generously their testimony to the truth. Italy, the United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania, and other countries have not fallen behind in their testimony for we find eminent names inscribed on the poll of spiritualism too numerous to mention in this short article. There are millions of people who profess their faith in spiritualism, they implicitly believe in this wonder-compelling, energy-moving, animating vitalizing; And this secret power they worship is THE SPIRIT OF GOD."

Little bucks don't have to bend so far to get the weeds. A drop of soder on the watering pan? Efficiency plus. Earliness is much desired by most gardeners. It has been found that the earliest safe dates for planting garden crops can be determined from the average date of last killing frost in spring. The accompanying map divides the eastern portion of the United States into much of a different about two weeks in the average date of the last killing frost between zones. These dates, while a guide in planting, cannot be depended upon as absolutely safe as in some years very late frosts may occur. They do indicate when the chances are in favor of no more killing frosts. There is, moreover, a difference of several days within the zones themselves, owing to differences in elevation and in latitude, and proximity to bodies of water. In cases where the inexperienced gardener is in doubt, he should ask advice from the nearest weather bureau station or from the United States department of agriculture. Garden crops may be divided into four groups, the first including those crops that may be planted some two weeks before the last killing frost in spring, as soon as the ground is in condition. Group 1 includes early cabbage plants from the hotbed or window box, radishes, collards, onion sets, early smooth peas, kale, early potatoes, turnips and mustard. Easton, March 11.—Sunday was trustees' day at Bethel A. M. E. Church. There was a contest rally in the Christian Endeavor between Misses Beatrice Jones, Blanche Murray and Fannie Miller. The supporters were Messrs. Hydob罗, Nathan Johnson and James O'Day, William Gibson is the president and Rev. J. C. Collins, pastor. Mrs. Ella Miller, of Gernstrom, Pa. is attending her daughter Mrs. John Turner of Hammondtown. Mr. Samuel H. Gibbs, of Philadelphia, Pa. was the guest of his mother and sister, Mrs. Nancy Giles, and Mrs. Martha Jenkins, of Hammondtown. Mr. John Bamus, was taken quite sick Saturday morning. A pie supper was given at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Monday night, and the Christian Endeavor rally Miss Fannie Miller raised the largest amount of money, over $16. Rev. J. S. Collins preached Sunday morning: subject "Rock of Ages." Mrs. Nina Smallwood, of Thorogood street, entertained in honor of her husband, Corporal William Smallwood of the Meade, Monday morning of last week. Present were: Mr. and Mrs. Julius Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. James Gates, Mesdames Mary Pennington and Net- a few war gardeners who failed last year but try again this year and go at it in time and with a determination to make a success of it. Don't let one failure discourage you, as all gardening means work and the best of us fall sometimes as well as the worst of us. Just four years ago the 17th day of June we had a heavy freezing frost and I lost everything in my garden except my tomatoes which I had covered, and as I could not cover my whole garden, I simply had everything else to replant except my tomatoes, and those spruced again, I took a small cycle and went thru the patch and cut off the tops close to the ground, and in two weeks they had spruced and aloof my crop was late I had plenty of potatoes, but all my beans, parsnips, lettuce, corn, cabbage and other things had to be replanted. It takes a heavy frost to kill beets, cabbage, lettuce and parsnips. It was enough to discourage a better gardener than I but it was something that I could not help and crying would not help any so I like hundreds of others went to work and I never had a better garden than I had that year. Gardening means work and plenty of it, the way we go about it in the right way is no reason why you should not succeed. The climate is not severe seed may be planted outdoors in a cold seed and is much better than a hot-bed for an amateur. A cold frame is made of planks set edge and nailed to one another and the front 10 or 24 inches high and the end 10 or 12 inches. The end plank must be cut on the bias, as it were to meet these heights. The slope is usually long for the sash, and is designed to help the sash shed water, as well as to allow it to receive a maximum of sunlight. The frames usually sold for cold-frame use are usually three by six in a rct. Of course it is not necessary to have regular sashes. Any old sash around the place will do, or even double windows removed from any old house will do. For early tomatoes I have found the very best to be the "Bonnie Best" and the "Earliana," and for late use the "Henderson Ponderosa." There are many plants that can be started in a cold frame. If you want only a few plants and do not care to bother with a cold frame then use a pane of glass and a box. Use the box and pane of glass over your asparagus or rhubarb plants and have them to use ten days to two weeks earlier than your neighbor, but don't forget to remove the glass on a warm day. Group 2 includes those crops that may be planted about the date of the last killing frost. Beets, parsnips, carrots, lettuce, salicin, spinach, wrinkled peas, cauliflower plants, celery seed, opinion seed, parsley, sweet corn and Chinese cabbage fall in this classification. Group 3, including snap beans, okra, and tomato plants, should be planted about two weeks after the last killing frost in spring. Group 4 includes those plants that can be planted until the ground is well warmed up. This is about a month after the last hard frosts. Lima beans, pepper plants, eggplants, cucumbers, metons, squash and sweet potatoes are included in this group. In the Southern portion of the country many vegetables such as cabbage, kale, spinach, etc., may be planted in the fall. For this reason the groupings given will not apply in the case of the more hardy crops, especially in the extreme Southern portion embracing zones A and B. The plants referred to may be planted in the fall or far North as portions of zones C and D. By referring to the map it is possible to ascertain, save in the case of the exceptions noted, the proper dates for maturing certain crops. In groups, the combinations of zones F and G the growing season is in some localities either too short or the temperature too low for maturing certain crops. Sweet potatoes will not thrive in parts of these zones. The same is true to a certain extent of eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and sweet corn. tie Richmond, Misses Frances and Ella Copper and Saghpon Gompey, Messrs Arthur Bailey, Alonza Bailey, Harry Webb and Charles Smith - Mrs. Eliza Parker has gone to Philadelphia after spending sometime with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Gibson, of Talbot Lane.

Sleeveless coats are made with capes. Yellow is a shade fancied by Parisiennes. Mushroom sailor hats are again very fashionable. Ivory white beads make a pretty girdle. In France all black evening gowns with sleeves and trimming of net or shadow face of the same hue are much in vogue. They have the advantage of being generally becoming and of being economical because they do not have to be sent to the cleaner very often. Many of the new sleeves both of thin and transparent material are left open at the hand. This saves the making of cuffs—often a difficult matter for the home dressmaker. A conservative length for the street skirt now is from four to six inches from the floor. For the young person's outdoor dress serge made very simple is still the prime choice. Tailored skirts and walking skirts in general are not more than one and three-quarter yards inwidth. MADE OVER DRESSES Now is a good time to make over dresses that have outlived their claim to fashion for it is a season of contrasting materials. Overskirts and plastrons, over sleeves and undersleeves, and bolero effects all make it seem to come more often of old material with some contrasting new material. A FEW WAR TIME RECIPES War-Time, Chicken, Stove Cut up and wash the chicken carefully. Place in one quart of boiling water, using about one teaspoonful of salt. Reduce heat and let simmer for an hour or more. Then add five carrots, three white turnips and six potatoes, cut in eighths longwise. Cook until tender. Thicken with butter and salt. Add a paste with a little cold water, cook until thick. Add two cups of salt and season to taste with salt and pepper. --- Beam Soup From Left-Over Beans Mash the beans left-over through the colander, add 4 cups of the water in which they were cooked. 1 tablespoon of the water, chopped parsley and a little dried thme. If thin, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with cold water. Boil 15 minutes. Serve 4 people.

Removes DANDRUEFF and Stops ITCHING SCALP. HEROLON is delightfully perfumed and not sticky or gummy. TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR --- There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease. It is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seebey Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scar unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinadde, mentioning the name of this paper.—Advt. Read THE EX-RAY OF LIFE the book which reveals the secret of success.

Campbell, B. S., M. D., 1369 N. Carey St., Baltimore, Md. For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and I had a flesh. Our own physician Matee had taken medicine and said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the Johns Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere I went down to work, weighed only 96 lbs. The doctor told me Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 1936 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md., as he was the best out on lungs. I went to him in company with my sister, weighing less than 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 148 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several times I had woken up with a same trouble, and these are suffering with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped. Mrs. Bertha I. Smith.
